Edmund Optics® (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces new Laser Crystals. Laser Crystals serve as the active gain medium in solid state laser systems. The optical properties for a given crystal are determined by the crystal’s composition, which dictates the optimal application or laser type for that crystal. A wide range of laser crystals are available for integration, including Nd:YAG, Nd:YVO4, Yb:KGW, Yb:KYW and Ti:Sapphire.

Yb:KGW (Ytterbium-Doped Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate) and Yb:KYW (Potassium Ytterbium Tungstate) Laser Crystals are low quantum defect lasing materials used to generate high power, ultrashort pulses. They offer a broad laser output at 1020-1060nm with greater than 55% slope efficiency with diode pumping. Yb:KGW Laser Crystals are ideally suited as ultrashort pulse amplifiers or for use in high power thin disk lasers. Yb:KYW Laser Crystals are perfectly suited for laser radiation tuning in the 1020-1060 range, as well as to generate pulses shorter than 70fs. Both have been AR coated for maximum throughput at 980-1064nm.
